A Retrospective and Prospective Study: Monocompartimental Knee Arthroplasty Combined With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery - a Pilot Study

Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli15 enrolled

Overview

This study aims to collect datas about patient who underwent simultaneous monocompartimental knee replacement and anterior cruciate ligament recontruction

The aim is to understand if anterior cruciate ligament recontruction is mandatory in case of monocompartimental knee replacement, given the fact that anterior stability could be compromised at first in ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) deficient knees. Current datas in literature are not sufficient to establish if ACL must always be recontructed or if only in some cases

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Tegner-Lysholm score

The Tegner Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale is a questionnaire used to assess knee function and symptoms, particularly in the context of ligament injuries of the knee. It evaluates eight categories: pain, swelling, instability, locking, limp, stair climbing, squatting, and need for support. Each category is scored, and the total score, out of 100, reflects overall knee function. Higher scores indicate better knee function.
